Have a nail in the right rear tire so it's leaking around 10psi overnight. Will get it patched today/tomorrow

sigtwenty · 09-19-2020, 06:23 AM

vegas to Utah. impressive til I hit traffic then drove around town for a bit after.
sitting at like 33mph now.

Installed the M3 leather steering wheel trim, including the rear piece. Beautifully crafted, perfect match to my dark grey wheel and surprised the added weight improves the steering feel.

MSCD · 09-20-2020, 02:19 PM

Cleaned it up!

sigtwenty · 09-20-2020, 06:49 PM

installed the B14 bilsteins today.

car is filthy, drove to Utah this weekend prior to install.

took it for a spirited drive....and they aren't as harsh as people claim. hoppy at times, low speed road imperfections are more pronounced but not totally uncomfortable, speed bumps are definitely harsher. on the freeway and even rough road....overall satisfactory! handling however is great. taking turns at 25 to 30mph is solid!

It looks good, I’m thinking about doing the same thing to mine... may I ask how hard was it to install and did you have to reprogram or do some coding after the install? Not sure if when I install mine I will loose the vibration warning. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

It's from advancetuning on ebay. I believe they come in more oem colors than my jet black too.

To replace the standard M Sport trim with M3/M4, you need both the front and rear piece and the following steps:
- disconnect the battery
- remove the airbag
- disconnect and remove the steering wheel
- remove the front trim, remove the paddles, remove the rear trim
- install the new trims, install the steering wheel, put the airbag back and connect the battery

You can find loads of good instruction videos on youtube. No big deal, no coding, just a few comments:
- pay attention to use the same screws in the same original locations,
- before adding the front trim, make sure the holes for releasing the airbag are clear and not obstructed by any connectors or cables (can be a bit tricky if your wheel is loaded with all features as mine),
- the vibration unit does not need to be touched. However, within M Sport wheel, it is covered by foam, that does not fit the M3 trim. You can either cut a piece from it or remove it entirely (I did the latter and the vibrations are a bit more apparent, which I consider good)

Ikester19 · 09-21-2020, 09:45 PM

Washed it on Sunday, after all these years the F30 is still one of the best looking cars on the road today IMO

obzen · 09-22-2020, 07:54 AM

Got a set of wheels for winter

Fliplegend · 09-23-2020, 06:27 AM

Wife's been driving the F30 (which is badly needed since covid) while her car is at the shop. Here's the loaner they gave us. 2020 E350 with the AMG package.

Haas84 · 09-23-2020, 11:53 AM
